Parents

         Is anyone else tired of being yelled at or judged by irritated parents who take out their aggressions on the people who care for their children? Look I know it can be hard to leave your children with strangers, but the dirty looks and smug remarks aren't helping the situation. The teachers and staff are not going to hurt your children. They are trained professionals who love and care for your children. Just because the kids are excited when they see us or walk into the classroom doesn't mean they like us better than you their parents! It's absurd to think that, and the fact that some parents do is very sad. Parents are doing all they can to support their children most working multiple jobs. So isn't daycare a better option? Instead of being home with the kids and hurting financially isn't it better to leave them with people who can devote all of their time to teaching them and entertaining them? My problem with grumpy parents is this it is your choice to place your children in daycare and once they are there it is my job to teach them. So please don't take any resentments you may have out on the people who are there to care for your children because it just irritates us. And when we are irritated you can believe your kids are not having a good time. You're paying us for a service so please let us provide it without judgments.

  1. Instead of judging you, they should be hugging you. Okay well, maybe that's exaggerating. However, they should be very content with the fact that you are doing such a good job. If a child is able to be happy and comfortable without family/friends then I say a job well done.
